Hi there, first units of the second part for Nippon and Cathay. Here you got the Samurai Longbowman and the Celestial Cavalry.

Both are made with Alazkans technique, so they have doubled polys. hope you can enjoy them nevertheless.

UPDATE:

added Cathay Levy Archer and Archers of the Wall, the last ones have different modeled fx and non fx version, look at both and decide which you like more.
I saw the warlords screenshot of the chinese archer in the gallery, after i did these ones, well, they both follow a similar idea, dont they

UPDATED

here are the Ungol Raiders and Horse Archers, the light cavalry of CATHAY.

These look really cool, I especially like the flags on their backs...reminds me of the Kislev riders.

Is it the samourai model with longbowman animation? Have you changed any bones or it works?

Great job !

Great job !

As stated above. It's the method AlazkanAssassin used for his 18th century armies. I posted you before about it

It's the samuraimodel dragged on the longbowmannodes.

updated first post with archers.
more units to come

Ploeperpengel · May 11, 2006

The archers are really good, seZ! Love their beards

RogerBacon · May 11, 2006

Finally the Samurai Bowmen I've been anticipating and they look wonderful!

The guys with the wings on the horses... just wondering why someone would ride a horse if they could fly. :crazyeye:

The wings are just there to pimp-out their armor, they're not functional.

I think I need a little help getting this to show up in game.

Here's what I did. You tell me where I went wrong.

1 Copied all of the longbowmen files into a folder: My Games\Civ4\CustomAssets\art\units\unique\japan\SamuraiDaikyu

2 Copied all of the files in Samurai Bowman.zip over them.

3 Made this entry in my ArtDefines_Unit.xml

Code:

<UnitArtInfo>
			<Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_JAPAN_SAMURAI_DAIKYU</Type>
			<fScale>0.44</fScale>
			<fInterfaceScale>1.0</fInterfaceScale>
			<NIF>Art/Units/Unique/Japan/SamuraiDaikyu/longbowman.nif</NIF>
			<KFM>Art/Units/Unique/Japan/SamuraiDaikyu/longbowman.kfm</KFM>
			<SHADERNIF>Art/Units/Unique/Japan/SamuraiDaikyu/longbowman.nif</SHADERNIF>
			<ShadowDef>
				<ShadowNIF>Art/Units/01_UnitShadows/UnitShadow.nif</ShadowNIF>
				<ShadowAttachNode>BIP Pelvis</ShadowAttachNode>
				<fShadowScale>1.0</fShadowScale>
			</ShadowDef>
			<fBattleDistance>0.35</fBattleDistance>
			<fRangedDeathTime>0.31</fRangedDeathTime>
			<bActAsRanged>1</bActAsRanged>
			<TrainSound>AS2D_UNIT_BUILD_UNIQUE_UNIT</TrainSound>
			<AudioRunSounds>
				<AudioRunTypeLoop/>
				<AudioRunTypeEnd/>
			</AudioRunSounds>
		</UnitArtInfo>

The unit shows up ingame but it doesn't look like a samurai and there is no flag.

sure you cant see them...
i looked into the zip, i only included the file with the _fx extension, so you simply have to change the
<NIF>Art/Units/Unique/Japan/SamuraiDaikyu/longbowman.nif</NIF>
<KFM>Art/Units/Unique/Japan/SamuraiDaikyu/longbowman.kfm</KFM>
<SHADERNIF>Art/Units/Unique/Japan/SamuraiDaikyu/longbowman.nif</SHADERNIF>

into

<NIF>Art/Units/Unique/Japan/SamuraiDaikyu/longbowman_fx.nif</NIF>

<KFM>Art/Units/longbowman/longbowman.kfm</KFM> (the kfm of the originial longbowman, cause i didnt implement new animations)
<SHADERNIF>Art/Units/Unique/Japan/SamuraiDaikyu/longbowman_fx.nif</SHADERNIF>

that should fix it, simply refer to the files included in the zip

seZereth · May 12, 2006

updated first post with Cathanese light cavalry... the ungols, an allied tribe compensating the lack of good riders in the cathanese empire...

The new units look totally awesome, they'd look great as Mongol, or maybe some other similar civ, UUs. :goodjob:

seZereth · May 15, 2006

Thanks to chalids Headworks, i could add the Samurai Horse Archer and Samurai knight, both reskins and nif edits of the named models

Rabbit, White · May 15, 2006

nice to hear that from you, Rabbit.

Ploeperpengel · May 15, 2006

Breathtaking seZ!
Very good job!

The neck of the halfnaked ungolraider seems to be unwashed for a long time, but that's ok for Ungols me thinks

C.Roland · May 15, 2006

They are really nice !
